Does anyone know where I can buy strips of pinewood? My tricopter suffered from a crash earlier and as a result I now have a broken arm. I haven't measured it yet but I'm pretty sure it isn't the stock 10x10. It's more like 10x12 or so..
Down a bit higher or up a bit lower?

You could try the Balsa Cabin :

or SLEC :

Not pine but spruce, so similar properties for the type of thing you need.

B&Q and most Diy places have a tone of it. It cost me £2 last time for 3m of the stuff.

Yeah, check B&Q they do from 10.5mm sq and go upwards from there.  It's under £1 for 1m generally, and if you break lots of arms the 3m lengths work out very cheap

Went down to my local b and q. Great selection, really cheap too. I should be ok for a good few crashes now!
